Niki Cheong's You There - The Women's Episode (Episode 2)

It's the second episode of my new video project I'm working on while I'm based in Singapore for the Asia Journalism Fellowship. http://www.ajf.sg

Each week, I make a video call or two back to some friends to find out what's up with them.

It is also International Women's Day today, and I dedicate the episode to women around the world.

I speak to:

Low Ngai Yuen, the person behind the newly revived www.kakiseni.com, who together with her team will launch Women : 100 http://www.kakiseni.com/women100 today - 100 hours of performing in conjunction with the centenary of International Women's Day. Visit the website for full details of the list of free shows that run till April 2011! She's on Twitter too, of course, at @ngaiyuen.

Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir - who talks about being recently named one of the two Malaysians, alongside activist Zainah Anwar, in New York-based global advocacy organisation Women Deliver's list of 100 inspiring people who have "delivered for girls and women" http://www.womendeliver.org. She also mentions another event happening today (March 8) in Kuala Lumpur, the International Women's Day celebration with the ٍSisters in Islam and the Musawah Young Women's Caucus http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=194399600592054. She also shares her thoughts on women's issues and why men is very much part of the cause! Find her on Twitter at @netrakl.
